2005 Miracle Yearbook

Academic For years, Cedarville has encouraged its students to become a part of a community ministry, and for years, Cedarville students have responded. This year was no different, with hundreds of students involved in everything from local church ministries to hospitals and crisis centers. Many of these ministries allowed students to see first- hand the impact they could have on another's life through their acts of kindness, while others worked behind the scenes knowing.though they may not have seen it every day,that their contribution was going a long way to help someone. For instance, Senior Laura Shuneson,student leader at the Miami Valley Women's Center, said that although her team worked in the back, they "had a blast sorting and cleaning clothes for women who are pregnant or have children already." The volunteers did have an opportunity to witness the way their work impacted others when they helped at the Client Christmas Party where the women were able to pick up Christmas presents for their children. Other memorable ministry moments included the opportunity Dayton Detention Home volunteers had in leading six kids to salvation. Leader Benjamin DeLarme, a junior, described the experience as one that "taught me a great deal about relying on God and the power of prayer in the lives of people."Clowns4Christ participated in both the Far Hills Community Church and Fair Creek Church's Fall Festivals, handing out balloons and playing "Wild and Crazy Bingo." Ministries abounded, with each volunteer expressing love through his or her act of service. As senior Amanda Cowell, leader of the Greenewood Manor Nursing Home team described it. "Our ministry brings a smile to many faces and lifts many spirits. It is one of the highlights of my week." Sigrid Myers marches in the homecoming parade with other members of the Christian Nurses Association (CNA), which exists to provide spiritual and professional development to the nursing majors on campus. Katie Meyer,Wendy Curtis, and Sandy Ewerth enjoy time together as members of Chi Delta Epsilon,an organization for future teachers. The future educators of Chi Delta Epsilon discuss lesson planning,one of their favorite hobbies. 232 Ministries
